Ontario/IBNS: Ontario reported another single-day highest record of 1,855 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday despite Ontario being locked down since the beginning of this week, media reports said.

This has pushed the seven-day average of daily cases to 1,489, the highest since the first confirmed infection was reported in Ontario in late January. 

The alarming surge comes amid more than 58,000 tests processed by the labs.

The new cases on Friday include 517 in Peel Region, 494 in Toronto, 189 in York Region, and 130 in Halton Region.

According to the worst-case scenario revealed in the updated new modeling projections, released by Ontario government during a news conference on Thursday, Ontario could see more than 9,000 new cases of COVID-19 per day by the end of the year.

Most of the new cases of COVID-19 were seen in people under the age of 80. 686 Covid 19 cases were seen in people between the ages of 20 and 39, at least 564 in people between the ages of 40 and 59, and 249 in people between the ages of 60 and 79. There were 278 cases in people under the age of 19.
